There is an incredible amount of organization that goes into Fashion Week and we were very impressed that it ran like clockwork. Our hats off to all involved. You made our experience stress free and a lot more enjoyable by having all your ducks in a row.

One big logistical challenge for the organizers is managing the show attendees. Even after we had a press pass, we still had to jump through a few hoops to get invitations to specific shows. For each show we then had to check in, where we were given either a seat assignment or a place in the standing section. The organizers at check in were different for each show, and still it ran smoothly.

Keeping everyone in check was a fabulous security crew. In fact, they were one of our favourite parts of the week. They were well groomed, helpful and firm, but with a wicked sense of humour (much rolling of the eyes at the stressed out organizers). Few people smile at Fashion Week, but you could count on the grins of the security guards throughout the day.

I decided to break out a fun black and cream polka dot bubble dress for our last day at Fashion Week. I matched it up with a black turtle neck, biker jacket, chevron hose, pearls, red handbag and low heeled patent knee-high boots.

The outfits that you’ve seen me wear this week are typical of my everyday work style and I didn’t purchase anything new for the occasion. I don’t usually wear black, grey and cream this much, but it was practical to coordinate outfits around this colour palette for traveling. I’ve had enough of neutrals for a while though, and I can’t wait to get into my colourful knitwear back home.

I adore everything you wear, but that might be my favorite outfit yet. That polka dot pattern is so wonderfully cheeky and yet still graceful and confident, and then on course the delicious bag kills us all dead. The pearls vs. the moto, it’s all fun and chic in one terrific outfit. The models on the runway have nothing on you!

Like R&J I really appreciate how relaxed you´ve been throughout this stressful week. You could rely on your taste and didn´t have to dress up. Once again this week has prooved your total sovereignty when it comes to fashion. You are the NY fashion week queen!!!

Thank you for a fantastic insider look at Fashion Week. There must have been so much going on behind the scenes while you were trying to get the news to us, and Greg’s photos were just above and beyond. I have no idea how he got such amazing shots that were really magazine quality. And all of your blog posts done on the fly after attending those shows were super and gave me a completely new perspective. Fashion Week has always seemed distant and unattainable and with our Angie attending, suddenly they felt almost within reach Hurrah for YLF!

Angie, that dress is phenomenal! I am hopelessly addicted to polka dots and I have major dress envy!

I love the sound of grinning security guards. I’m glad everything was very professional and well organized… I’m sure that made the entire experience so much more enjoyable for everyone involved. I wonder what kind of training the crew goes through?

It was very interesting to hear about the organization of the show. I like the security guards, and is sounds like they kept a sense of humor throughout the craziness of the week. I would probably have found myself drawn to them.

Thank you for your wonderful posts from Fashion Week. Your “insider” observations were educational and entertaining, your daily outfits were all so well-styled and fun, and I love the way you added color to a sea of black. The photos were lovely and today’s post re the security details is a sweet recognition of the work that goes on behind any event. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry and it’s unfortunate how often support staff go unnoticed. So, hats off to you and Greg: well done!

My thoughts on your outfit were what Kristen said so eloquently. You are a breath of fresh air in those giant polka-dots.
You have made it a fun and exciting week for so many of us enjoying your trip through your blog. May your trip home to your sweet furr-babies go smoothly too.

Thank you so much for the NYFW coverage, Angie! I loved your writeups and the amazing pictures. Like Laura said above, your reports really help make sense out of it for laywomen like me. And I adore the polka-dot dress! All your outfits this week were fantastic, but this one is my favorite.

Thank you so much for the great fashion week, Angie! You look so fresh and lovely in your polka dot dress! I think I’ve enjoyed seeing your daily outfits just as much as the runway fashion. I hope we’ll see you back in NYC in September covering the Spring Collection.

Love the polka dot dress, Angie! All your posts have been fantastic and I’ve enjoyed every one. I loved seeing all the models in their beautiful outfits but seeing what you wore each day was even better. Thanks for all your hard work. You and Greg are such a great team.
